My brain doesn't read that as bronze either - to me it's an insipid, putty-brown. But I also think the colour of the cladding on T3 Bayside is a nauseating shade of green while others find it lovely, so ... maybe this is another version of #the dress?

It reads as oiled brushed bronze to me , when I walk by it in person.

Yeah, I wish I could see that lovely reddish bronze! I see a washed out, greenish/yellowish brown.

The toothpaste green tower paneling is far more problematic, IMO.

It wouldnt be as bad if the glass of the tower portion was also an aqua tint to match the spandrel. Instead it looks like a black sun visor.

I too am disappointed by the the east and west cladding. However the east and west sides of 88 will be blocked from view mostly by two other tall condos. Perhaps this will be a blessing in disguise! If the cond on the west is moving forward. Is it?

According to the Farrow and Ball website, the green is a version of ‘ Theresa’s Green.’ I will wait until our winter when the northern light perhaps shows this to be an interesting choice! Think central Vilnius or Riga.

"Interesting" doesn't mean it will work though... >.<

It has been used in a climate similar to ours with great success.

People may not like the colour of cladding, but it is undeniably of high quality still. Like much else HP does. This just not just some cheap coloured panels slapped on the side of this building and I for one, really like it.

Sorry but this looks just awful. I don't know how anyone in this day and age could think that colour would be a good choice. Anything dark would have been much safer.

It's moreso how the dark glass clashes with the light spandrel and especially the white mullions. A lighter tinted/less reflective glass wouldve worked better than the current product.
